The Chapecoense was a small countyside team, and this would be the first time they played in a Copa America final :heart-empty:

If the Goalkeeper wasn't able to save that ball in the last possible minute they all would be alive now.
I guess this makes a good tale about how winning something isn't always the best thing in the grand scheme of life.

Strange thing is, the Argentine National Team used that plane some weeks ago and had no problems.

The pilot emptied the gas out of the plane so that the plane wouldn't explode when it crashed so because of him some people survived.

More like it was beyond its maximum range, the bae-146 can't dump fuel.
Also there was a emergency in another plane which made the flight orbit for several minutes,also there was a "electrical problem"( the aircraft has no emergency wind turbine in case of engine failure and the outboard engines provide electrical power and are the first to fuel starve if there is no more fuel).
Also everyone here in my uni is saddened and shocked, it was a pretty small soccer club and the managed to go to the finals with a international competition, it was amazing.

If it was the pilot's fault and if he had shame, he would have poured the gas all over himself and set himself on fire. Instead, he's going to get a nice long investigation and trial in one of the most corrupt Western countries on Earth.

Aircraft investigations here are handled by CENIPA (Our NTSB) and they are extremely impartial and competent.
I know we are corrupt as fuck but the federal police and armed forces are simply not, there wont be any bribes to hide any mistake here.

^Yeah, but do the courts give a shit about the findings?

Lol dude what question is that?
All aviation in brazil must abide by the CENIPA and all other international standards findings.
The pilot is dead and you cant charge dead people with any crimes but you can sue the company.
 
Heard this on the radio today and for a moment I thought it was a "this day in history moment" with the wrong date. They didn't mention anything about the pilot draining the gas so there wouldn't be a giant fireball, though.
